It makes sense to prevent problems with limescale. At Calmag, we are often asked whether it is better to fit a Scale Inhibitor or a Water Softener. The answer largely depends on the severity of your limescale problem, and the results you want to achieve.
60% of people in the UK live in a hard water area, so problems with limescale are common. Limescale build-up reduces energy efficiency; it can cause breakdown, or even permanent damage to appliances, pipework and central heating systems.
As little as 1mm of limescale on a boiler heat exchanger surface means around 8% more energy is needed to achieve the same output. 1/8″ of limescale reduces heating efficiency by 25%.
A Scale Inhibitor is the perfect solution when you want a ‘no fuss’, low cost way of protecting your central heating system, pipework, and ‘plumbed-in’ water using appliances from the damaging effects of limescale build-up.
